FOR PLOWS.

453,108, dated May 26, 1891.

Application filed February 6, 1891- Serial No. 380,408. (No model) it may concern:

that we, JOHN OREIGHTON and CLINTON ll. DRURY, citizens of the United States, and residents ofllcrtiord, in thecounty of Trumbulland State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Attachments for Flows; and we do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference beinghad e accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a side view. Fig. 2 is a front view, partly in section; and l ig. 3 is a dot-ail view.

This invention has relation proveinents in pulverizer plows, and is especially provement over the construction set forth in Patent No. 439,586, issued to us October 28, 1890; and the invention consists in the novel construction. and arrangement hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawings, illustrating the invention, the letter A designates a plow having rigidly clamped to its handles a, just above the beam and projecting laterally on the mold-board side thereof, a rod or bar 13, which may be either a solid piece or formed of gas-pipe of suitable size.

C 0 represent aseries of pulverizing-blades, four being shown, formed of spring metal and having their shanks c twisted into plate or flat portions c, standingat right angles to shanks at their upper ends being turned over and keyed in slots (Z in the rod B, no bolts or screws being employed. These blades are disposed edgewise, and may be straight or curved somewhat inwardly at their lower ends, as shown, the latter construction being "found someto certain imattachments for designed as an imwhat preferable in not wish to limit form of found desirable, without departing from the.

spirit of this invention. It will be seen that the spring-metal character of these blades will allow an independent movement to each blade. By loosening the clamps h, which hold the rod B to the handles a, the said rod may be turned so as to bring the blades more or less perpendicular or oblique with rela tion to the ground, this providing for their action to a greater or less depth. The rod or bar B may be either of wood or metal. and may be provided with an independent slot for each blade, or a longitudinal slot running in from its elite of suilicient length to receive the entire 'series which are keyed therein.

llfaving thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The plow attachment or bar adjustably clamped to the handles and provided at its outer projecting end with a series of spring-metal blades having their curved shanks secured thereto, each blade having an independent yielding movement, substantially as specified.

2. The plow attachment comprising the slotted bar or rod adjustabl y clamped to the handles and provided atits outer projecting portion with a series of spring-metal blades having their turned upper ends inserted in the slots in said bar and keyed therein, substani-ially as specified.

In testimon y whereof we affix our signatures presence of two witnesses.
